n this revolutionary book, Dr. Anderson refutes the widespread idea that one must be poor to be Christian and shares biblical perspectives on money, business, and investment. By decrying the myth that Christians must be poor to be righteous and offering examples of Christians who combined financial success with a faith-filled life, Anderson provides a new, relevant slant on a timeless area of popular interest. His message in a nutshell: the Bible teaches that God blesses the work of your hand, but if your hand isn't doing anything, there is nothing for Him to bless! Dr. Anderson explains the process of experiencing God's blessing through the increase and investment of wealth. An invaluable resource for current or would-be investors and entrepreneurs, this book not only inspires readers to become educated about finance but gives them tools for action and compels them to move forward confidently in the direction of their financial dreams.
Former Texas prison chaplain Rev. Carroll Pickett, working with two time Edgar Award-winner and New York Times best selling author Carlton Stowers, provides this eloquent, unflinching look at capital punishment.Within These Walls is the powerful memoir of Rev. Pickett, who spent fifteen years as the death house chaplain at "The Walls," the Huntsville unit of the Texas prison system.In that capacity Rev. Pickett ministered to 95 men before they were put to death by lethal injection. They came with sinister nicknames like "The Candy Man" and "The Good Samaritan Killer," some contrite, some angry-a few who might even have been innocent.All of them found in Rev. Pickett their last chance for an unbiased confessor who would look at them only as fellow humans, not simply as the convicted criminals the rest of society had already dismissed them as.This first-hand experience gave Rev. Pickett the unique insight needed to write an impassioned statement on the realities of capital punishment in America.The result is a thought-provoking and compelling book that takes the reader inside the criminal mind, inside the execution chamber, and inside the heart of a remarkable man who shares his thoughts and observations not only about capital punishment, but about the dark world of prison society.AUTHORBIO: Rev.
